In the spring of 2010, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada held public consultations on online tracking, profiling and targeting, and cloud computing. The Office received 32 written submissions and held three public events in Toronto, Montreal and Calgary. These events were attended by representatives of industry and government, academics, and advocates, as well as members of the public.

We have now posted the draft consultations report for comment on our website. The draft report summarizes the input gathered during the course of the consultations and proposes specific actions that the Office will undertake going forward. It also identifies issues for which we are seeking further input. We would like to encourage any interested parties to read the report and submit feedback via our website. The deadline for feedback is November 26, 2010.
